The Story of an Evil Deity

8. A Trip Inside

"Your majesty are you sure this is a good Idea?", A familiar maid asked as she stepped out of the dark mist that manifested itself within creation, enjoying the view of the wide forest she found before her.

"Why not? The other four are still busy to find a way to travel through the Abyss, so in case of an emergency all four of them are still inside the Void.", Her creator replied with a smile on his face as he continued, "Also I'm not the type to rot inside his castle and just watch from behind."

"I know that you're hiding something from me your majesty.", Following Nyarlathotep's words silence conquered their conversation before her creator continued.

"Maybe I do. But so do you, 'Queen of Lies'.", Hearing those words the maid remained silent as she couldn't form any words, leaving the Sultan unaware of the false truth he believed in, "Anyways! Yet is the perfect time to go sightseeing!"

Hearing that the maid tilted her head slightly to the right as she wondered what her master meant.

"A grim dark future is waiting to be released any second~ Treachery, Hatred, Rage, destruction, War, and Death~ All of it only waits to be released upon all of creation~ And who other is more qualified to release them than me!"

Immediately after these words left the Sultan's mouth, the maid found herself in front an empty battlefield. The silent sound of dead dreams swam through the air as the smell of death and rot infiltrated her nose, distracting her from the hand of her master that held onto hers.

"I guess I went a little too far... Was it on the other way around?", The Sultan said, letting go of his servant's hand as he walked through the battlefield, only to stop after a couple steps as his servant started speaking.

"Your majesty... What has happened here?"

"Good question... I lost the ability to see all of creation the moment I chose to free the Void, so I don't really know... But I guess the elves tried to unite themselves like humanity did. But as you can see, they failed miserably."

"I see... But isn't this a good opportunity? Maybe we can find a few survivors and corrupt them!"

"...Maybe... Another time....", The Sultan replied losing his smile for the first time in a while.

"Well... As you wish...", The maid said confused by her master's decision.

"But say Nyarlathotep, how do you feel?"

"How I feel? Like I always, I guess. Why?"

"I was just curious...", Averting his gaze, the Sultan started to smile again as an idea struck his mind, "How about we visit the capital city?"

"Capital city? Your majesty... Where are we?"

"Oh! You didn't know? Were in Alfheim."

"Alfheim?! Isn't it too dangerous here!!"

"Not really. The gods are too busy preparing themselves for a war at the frontlines, so they don't even think of looking in-between their realms."

"It still sounds like a bad idea..."

"You worry too much. Trust me once your inside you will forget all your worries!"

"Have you ever been in the capital before, your majesty?"

"No. But I saw it multiple times as I watched from outside and I want to see it with my own eyes now where I can!"

"Hm... I guess it's fine then..."

"Nice!", Grabbing the hand of his servant, the Sultan didn't want to waste a single second and immediately shot himself up in the sky before shooting himself towards the capital city, dragging his servant with him.
